This will be a fantastic opportunity ‼️
Children's Treatment Network of Simcoe York and Closing the Gap are excited to present a Learn to Bike event on August 20, 2025 at Morgan Russell Memorial Arena & Community Centre (1354 Killarney Beach, Lefroy ON L0L 1W0) from 4-6 p.m. This event is intended for children and youth ages 6–14 who have a disability and/or developmental need that impacts their ability to learn how to ride a bike. It is also open to any child or youth who uses, or would like to try, an adaptive bike. This session focuses on learning bike-riding strategies in a fun, supportive environment.
Kids/youth participating must meet the following criteria:
1. have a disability/developmental need
2. be willing and able to wear a properly fitted helmet (CTN has a limited supply of helmets for use)
3. must be accompanied by a parent/guardian who is willing and able to assist staff
What to expect:
• Tips, tricks and strategies from Closing the Gap’s on-site Occupational and Physical Therapists and Therapy Assistants
• A fun, safe and supportive environment where kids can learn alongside their peers in an indoor, temperature-controlled space
• An array of adaptive bikes to view and try through CTN’s Equipment Loan Program
• Skills, confidence and independence that will last a lifetime!
This workshop will take place in an indoor, temperature- controlled environment. A limited number of helmets and knee/elbow pads will be available for use. Adaptive bikes will be available on-site to try and use. If an adaptive bike is not needed, participants are asked to bring their own bikes and helmets.
